I'm guesing that SFCC doesn't know the rules. On that basis do you agree that we go OH at 1030?

I guess - not sure of the correct terminology. Certainly the main - only - blades all rotated around the central hub, as you can see.

It apparently had a novel form of power for a helicopter!

No wonder I couldn't find it.

Even with it's full name there is nothing on the web (unless you know something which I don't).
